What Makes a Panel Bed Unique?
With a Panel Bed, the large face panel folds down and becomes the bottom of the bed. Unlike traditional Murphy Beds, there are no cabinet doors to swing open – just a clean, modern design.

MurphyBedDepot
Thank you for your purchase! We are so glad to hear that you love the product and accomplished the project!

Great instructions!!!
the instructions for this kit are really good, I did this over the course of a week and was able to get it all done without any issues. My only complaint is that the stiffener bar's dont attach to the bed frame, so the wood is a bit creaky when you first lay down. I think having a stiffer frame would be better, but overall it's great!
MurphyBedDepot
Thank you for your purchase! One cause for creaking is if the panels are butted up next to each other and rubbing when weight is put on the bed. One fix is to place tile spacers between the panels, leaving about a 1/8" gap to allow for flexing. Always feel free to call us for technical support!
